Contemplative Prayer Stations

This contemplative prayer station can be used for multiple topics. Basically you let people draw something according to the topic and allow them to tack it to a cross, letting it go to God.

Directions for Leadership:

Set up a table that is covered with drawing paper. Then put crayons or markers out for people to draw with. Place directions in the middle. You can use this station for various topics. Hope, hurt, pain, thanksgiving…
Then make an area where they can then hang or pin their drawings up. Sometimes we hang a small cross for people to pin their drawing next to, or if you have a larger cross available let people tack them directly onto the cross. Make sure you have plenty of pins either way.

If butcher paper is not available then put out regular paper for people to use. We have also put out craft supplies and just let people go to town as well! My favorite version is when we have had people do this with finger paint.

Example Directions for on the Table:

Draw a picture of one of your greatest hopes.
As you draw, give that hope to God and when you are done you may either take it home as a reminder or tack it to cross as act of worship.
